Kirstie has worked her magic again and created this lovely template for us to highlight a favourite pic, with plenty of space to tell your story or to go to town with extra layers …
I’m wrapping up January with another selection of pages and projects from the Creative Team! There’s a real mixture of digital scrapbook pages, greetings cards and other paper projects from the team this month, many with a very wintery feel to them! Whatever the weather where you are, I hope that you enjoy this inspiring …
Happy New Year! I’m kicking off 2022 with the return of an old favourite – yep, the template challenge is back for 2022! I’ve really missed these templates and seeing how everyone puts their own spin on the same basic design to create their own unique, meaningful pages. It feels good to have it back …
After I released the make-your-own-ice-cream set earlier this year, I had a lot of requests for a build-your-own-pizza set too. Pizza is one of our favourites, so it was an absolute no-brainer to whip out my paints and pencils and get to work on some pizza themed illustrations! I had a lot of fun putting …
With Christmas just around the corner, I thought I’d share some amazing Christmas cards that the Creative Team have been working on this year. Honestly, this post could have been very very long, narrowing it down to a handful of my favourites to include here was so difficult! I’ve included a mixture of cards here: …
The Creative Team have been busy scrapbooking with the latest new releases from the shop and so I have some lovely Christmassy layouts to share with you today, most with a little hint of a European flavour to them! I really enjoyed researching and creating my two new German Christmas packs and I’m really excited …
Digital stamps are often (sadly!) overlooked in favour of more colourful 3D elements but today I’m going to share some ways for you to use line art and stamps to add an extra something special to your scrapbook pages! Before we start, here’s a quick guide to the different types of stamps available in my …
I recently asked my Creative Team what they would like me to make for autumn and a Pumpkin Spice theme was the runaway winner! So I got busy drawing a yummy new collection of pumpkins, coffee, lattes, falling leaves and lots and lots of delicious autumnal colours (I do love a gorgeous autumn colour scheme!). Today I’m …
I have a wonderfully varied assortment of projects from the team to share with you this month – from greetings cards to bullet journals, learning activities to traveller’s notebook spreads and halloween decorations to scrapbook pages!

The Creative Team have been busy scrapping away with the latest new releases to hit the shop and I have some fabulous back-to-school themed layouts to share with you today! My kids are both back in school now and we’re settling into the rhythm and schedule of term time again after a long, lazy summer. …
I recently had a couple of requests for a build-your-own-ice-cream pack and as soon as I read them I know just what I wanted to call the new set. The old childhood phrase of “I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!” brought back so many happy memories of yummy ice cream treats …
I have a lovely collection of projects from the Creative Team to share with you this month: some layouts, some cards, some printables and even a play cafe menu! School is finally out for my kids so we’re enjoying the lazier days and the lack of routine, if it’s summer where you are too I …
All the glorious summer sunshine in this month’s selection of Creative Team projects makes my heart happy! We are counting down the days until the end of the school term here and very much looking forward to some staycation adventures this summer, sunshine or no sunshine. If you have some summer pics to scrap I …
I have a lot of fond memories of trips to our local aquarium, many from when my daughter was very young. We often visited for her birthday treat (she’s a winter baby so an indoor adventure was ideal) and got to see Father Christmas swimming amongst the sharks! I recently asked the team to share …
Today I’m sharing some colourful inspiration from the Creative Team using some of the Art Joodles range (art journalling + doodles = art joodles!). I created these joodles on painted book papers so they’re a bit messier than my usual drawings with the original book text showing through in places and lots of little details, …
The sun is finally shining again after the wettest May on record here in the UK. I am more than ready for some warmer, sunnier – and most importantly – drier days! (I know I’m reinforcing that Great British stereotype that we always talk about the weather, but it’s just so lovely to see the …
Today I’m sharing the technique that Creative Team member Ria used to create the most amazing foiled backgrounds for her cards using my Doodled Overlays, some metallic foil and a laminator! Here’s a little video of the lovely foiled patterned paper she created, check out that shine! If you’d like to make some foiled background …
When I was deciding what to make for NSD this year I went back to my trusty list of suggestions and again picked the theme with the most requests. (By the way, I can’t tell you how useful it is to have that list, I’m shockingly bad at making decisions so having you tell me …
I’m wrapping up the month with another Creative Team Gallery! I always love seeing all the pages and projects from the team and all the creative ways they use my illustrations to create their cards, scrapbook pages and teaching resources. This month it’s a mixed bag of spring, wizards and April Fools, I hope you …

The lovely people at Chalkola recently sent me a selection of their Chalk Markers to play with and I’m excited to show you what I created with them! To begin with, I tested the markers out on some black paper (if you have been following along with my Meet the Maker posts on Instagram you …
As March Meet the Maker comes to a close, I thought I’d share some of my posts from the second half of the month. I did lose some steam over the last week or so and didn’t post as often as I did to begin with, but I still really enjoyed the process and found …
Spring has finally sprung here this month and I’m really enjoying the warmer days, the (occasional) blue skies, the birdsong and the blossom on the trees! I do love this time of year when everything comes back to life. The team have also been inspired by the changing seasons, there are quite a few spring …
If you follow me on Instagram you might already have seen some of the March Meet the Maker prompts I’ve been posting recently! If you’re not familiar with the Meet the Maker challenge here’s how founder Joanne Hawker describes it: #MarchMeetTheMaker is a 31 day Instagram Challenge, set by Joanne Hawker (and solely Joanne!) that runs throughout March every …
